what's the effective difference between "restricted" and/or "controlled" and "illegal"? presuming that laws were enacted to dictate the "restrictions" or "controls," violations of those laws would be "illegal." Vicodin is currently "controlled" and heroin is "illegal." Having Vicodin within the proper prescription can be "illegal" but the substance itself is only "controlled." trafficking/selling Vicodin outside the proper channels is "illegal." it doesn't seem like much of a difference to me. i'm not even sure whether weapons-grade plutonium is currently "illegal" per se or whether it's just illegal for non-military personnel with the proper classification of non-nuclear states to have it. so what? you also said "services." murder is a "service." i think it's fine for murder to be illegal. and nuclear bombs. and anthrax. and a lot of other things. doesn't infringe on liberty one bit--in fact, my liberty is infringed by other people having the right to have such disruptive toys.
